God, I hope so. I fucking loved that game and never understood all the hate. The lore, the characters, the martial arts fantasy and the world simply sucked me in and did not want to let me go. One of BioWare's finest and has heaps of potential to make it even better.

ActionBastard4830d ago

I completely agree. As underrated as Heavenly Sword and 27x better. Please let this be true.

Yi-Long4830d ago

... and bought this game on the first day it came out.

Sadly, I felt it was a little bit too lineair for me, and by the time I got to the big city, I kinda lost interest and stopped playing.

Such a shame, cause like I said, this should have been everything I would want in a game...

pain777pas4829d ago

There is some truth to what Yi-Long is saying. I still have Jade Empire and KOTR right beside each other with DOA Ultimate and Sega GT/JSRF.

Exquisik4830d ago

There was hate on this game?! How could anyone ever hate on Jade Empire? It's one of my favorite game for the XBOX and one of my top 10 RPG for last gen. And I hope this is true, I want to play Jade Empire 2 on this gen consoles or the next!

gamer20104830d ago

That would be like a dream come true to me. Jade Empire is one of my very favorite games from last generation. I loved everything about it. A new Jade Empire would be incredible. I am begging you, Bioware, please make this happen.

ATiElite4830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

Bioware has easily moved towards the top as one of the best developers in the industry as they have great quality and very strong franchises.

glad to see Jade Empire coming back. Maybe after ME3 and DA2 will they maybe have MDK, Baldur's Gates, Neverwinter Nights, or Shattered Steel make a comeback

baodeus4830d ago

yeah it is a great game, although i do wish that they have more variety in fighting mechanics. One of the best RPG last gen that i played.

pain777pas4829d ago

NGP remake or port with the PS3 and Xbox. Please Bioware.

Would be VERY surprised.

I'm pretty sure Bioware have enough on their plate to last them a while...

Rhezin4830d ago

Hell yah! Jade Empire was dope as shit I think I remember owning that game. It was like kotor style combat set in some Chinese Dynasty.

Malebaria4830d ago

That'd be awesome! I've just been re-playing past BioWare games, Jade Empire included, and the constant quality they put into their games is mind boggling.

duplissi4830d ago (Edited 4830d ago )

yeah, bioware along with naughty dog are my two favorit devs, with dice following right behind.

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.

If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.

So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,

You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups

Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was

anthem......

Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....

They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table

bababooiy21d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198921d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken21d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198921d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack21d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername21d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid21d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan21d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid21d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

New Mass Effect Game Teased for N7 Day, and It Shows a Mysterious Individual

Today is known as Mass Effect N7 Day, and BioWare has released what looks to be teasers for the new Mass Effect game.

Snookies12167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

We really need another solid Mass Effect entry. It's a real shame that such a legendary franchise was left off with such a blemish to its overall astounding track record. Andromeda was just not it, don't know what they were thinking there.

-Foxtrot167d ago

Surprised it got a subtitle

I thought after Andromeda they’d have kept to the numbers so people wouldn’t think “oh another spin off”

Unless Shepard returns

Obscure_Observer167d ago

"Unless Shepard returns"

After ME3, Shepard should f* off

Stanjara166d ago

Put a chick in it and make her gay.

Ethereal166d ago

Yes! One of my all time favorite trilogies. Hopefully they do ME justice. Andromeda was passable and had bones of a good game but just lacked the depth and intrigue that the originals had.
